The answer to the specific question (when asked) was,

Syracuse (1991), Arizona (1993), S. Carolina (1997) and Iowa St. (2001).

(16) seeds are winless since the NCAA started the current seeding system in 1985 (that makes their record 0-100 through the 2009 Basketball tournament).

(15) seeds have won 4 times in the first round (called the second round since the field was expanded to 68 teams in 2010) during that period.

1991

(2) Syracuse - 69

(15) Richmond - 73

1993

(2) Arizona - 61

(15) Santa Clara - 64

1997

(2) South Carolina - 65

(15) Coppin State - 78

2001

(2) Iowa State - 57

(15) Hampton - 58

None of those (15) seeds won in the following round.

-----------------------------------

This year, it happened twice!

2012

(2) Duke - 70

(15) Lehigh - 75

2012

(2) Missouri - 84

(15) Norfolk State - 86

So that makes 6 times it's happened since seeding began in 1985.

(1) seeds are now 112-0 against (16) seeds.
